For this purpose he jrecommends a division of the farm ;into four parte, one of which <houldbe planted i;i grass, cither Bermuda, iJapan clover, white clover, orchard jgrass or any kind that animals will!eat, and the other sections in peas, [corn and cotton respectively. For a jfour hundred acre f:;rm, a hundred iacres in each division, he recommends ;four hundred sheep, to be pastured on |the grass till peas are ripe, then on the I[)UU*. UJSU Vll CUllUIl SUL'U HI UiUwinter, the sheep enriching the groundand then being sold as good mutton,"nicer for the table than a slice ofpork that, may be, died of h<*r cholera." jSheep raisin# in some ' sections is jattended with handsome profit; but in jthe South it cannot be successful toany great extent as long as the Legis- jlaturo refuses to pass laws exterminat-jing worthless curs. It is a peculiarcircumstance that dogs in all Statesare more highly favored than any jl other species of property. In Georgia |j it is as much as a member's official life j: :s worth to propose a dog law in the! Legislature; and in our own Log:>la|turea bill introduced by Mr. Thomas,| of this county, providing for a heavier I! tax on dogs'was remorselessly killed j; in committee. Wool and mutton both ;j bring a good price; but the sheep I| product will never drive out cotton or |j supplement it, until a radical change jis secured in some way.The Abbeville 3fo<limn suggests the Iraising of goats as a profitable industry.It holds that goats will, bring in |more money for a given outlay than janything else, while the presence of a |few goats in a flock of sheep is a pre- jventive of the ravages of sheep-killingdogs. This may be, but goats are not jfastidious beasts. As long as pine-topsand oyster cans and circus posters arewithin bounds. But when this regularsupply of food is exhausted, he resortsto predatory- excursions andforays into neighboring fields, running !a muck among growing crops of all |kinds in a way to make the Kansas jorrPAn tv-iHi pnv.v !also have a tendency to agility ratherthan obesity. Josh Billings says a-"phatt gote is a litterary fenommenon,"and experience bears him out to a certainextent. But tender mutton is capitalfood; and right here in this"State andiu this county it can be raised of thefinest quality. If our farmers willluive sheep killing dojrs weeded out,and then procure sheep and pay attentionto them, they will find the investmenta paying one.

There were special efjforts made in the toasts, speeches andj demonstrations to glorify Koseoe| Conkling. His name was brought inin all conceivable ways, giving thefeast the appearance of a pre-arranged| plan to bring him forward for someI position in the immediate future. He! was alluded to as Senator, the ablest! man in the country, the leader of the: Old Guard of :>0G at Chicago, in laudationof the twenty-nine voters who! stood by him in the last Legislature,j The crowd responded to each allusionI him me wmicsi ucuiuhmiuuuii*. j;iv- <! ing unmistakable evidence that theOld Guard were rc:tdy to march underI his load again. It was Conkling. notGrant, that they were there to honor.The most significant feature was theboid attack made by two of the regularlyselected speakers on civil servicereform. Martin I. Towusencl. in replyto one of the regular toasts, openedthis attack and characterized all wlioadvocated it as Miss Nancys in politics,and he then took the ground that theofficesbe held as rewards to i he workers.This line of talk was applaudedto the echo. Anson S. Wood took upthe same line at sonic length. The impressionwas given that the gatheringwas held for the purpose of placing MrConkling at the front and to rally th(.Old Guard on an anti-civil service reformplatform.The Electoral Fi:ali>.?Since Mr.Tilden was cheated out of the Presiw>:?/- !

Michigan from Saugatuck to Detroit.It is estimated that the cost of constructionwould be $5,554,860; It isproposed that the canal shall follow thecourse of the Kalamazoo river throughAllegan and Kalamazoo counties,thence through Calhoun' county, . Jacksoncounty, and other "counties on aline eastward to the Detroit Harbor.The length of the eanaj would be 178miles. The Kalamazoo river would bea useful feeder, ana it is saw mat mereare 110 less than 335 lakes from which.water can be obtained. The numberoi'locks would be 22.Another project is that of building acanal from Rock Island, on the MissisIsippi river, eastward Go miles, to Hennepin,on the Illinois river. The Illi;nois and Michigan canal extends fromChicago westward to Pern, which isonly a few miles from Ileunepin, andthe connecting link between the oldand the new canal would be formed bythe navigable waters of the Illinois;iriver. It was estimated in 1870 by theWar Department that the Hennepincanal cost $3,900,000. A glance atthe map shows that this canal wouldestablish communication between theMississippi river and the great lakes.It also appears that the proposed canalacross the base of the Michigan Peninsulawould open water communication |on almost a straight line from Chicago,through Lake Erie and the Erie canajto _\e\v ioi'k. jllie com'iieuuii ui metwo canals would open direct communicationfrom the Mississippi River toXew York.A Determined Suicide.?Yesterdayafternoon, about 4 o'clock, the coronerwas notified that a while woman haddied suddenly at Ho Cannon street.
